Alaskan Discovery: Denali National Park & the Kenai Fjords

As Alaska’s second largest city, Fairbanks is a bustling year-round destination. With the Chena River cutting through the heart of the city, you can stroll along the Chena Riverwalk to Pioneer Park and visit the museums and Gold Rush buildings of Alaska’s only historical theme park. Also keep in mind that for much of the year, Fairbanks is one of the best spots to catch the northern lights brightening up the night sky.

Alaska’s capital offers a wealth of attractions, dining options, and a thriving local arts scene to fill up an extra day or two. Downtown Juneau is easily explored on foot and is home to many galleries and shops where you can browse for authentic Alaska crafts and other unique treasures. Or you can take a whale-watching tour or immerse yourself in Alaska’s rich history, traditions, and cultural heritage at the Alaska State Museum.
